Ill try to offer my insight.
Glyph of Seal of Wisdom, Beacon of Light, and Holy Light. Reduces mana cost by 5% for healing spells, glyph makes beacon last longer, and HL has a 10% splash. Very nice, for tank healing.
Aura mastery is fine to spec into, but some rets spec into it as well.
For beginners, I would want to say spec into ret for the amazing crit. I believe I had around 30% crit with a shitty gearscore (yes, plate gear). But I know for raids everyone wants you into prot for DS. If you do that, that means as a tank I dont have to and I can take Reckoning. Yay :]
TLDR; beacon wisdom and HL for glyphs. ret for beginners, prot for making prot pallies happy :]
